Just ask nice in the Customer Service section of the forum and they may refund you the difference.

Don't rage about it though

I asked nicely , see what they say.

 

[wunkley]

tough titty I would say
I paid 680 for mine, from a competitor.

Weren't we told it would be nowhere near £600 before next year

 

[Huggie86]

I can see it hitting 600 in a few weeks.

Those who wanted it paid for it at the premium price and those on the fence are now being enticed. I guess they have quite a bit of stock now, so they can drop.

 

[Legend]

WHAT?! A product goes DOWN in price the longer it's on sale?!? NO! I don't believe it! That NEVER happens!!

 

[Huggie86]

Well they refunded me the difference, fantastic service from ocuk

Not done it myself and remember reading it on a forum somewhere ages ago. I think you need to right click on the desktop - Resolution - Advanced settings - Monitor - and there should be a setting to change it to 120Hz there.

Let me know if that worked. I am watercooled, so never worried about it.

Actually, best way is to set your desktop to 120hz in the usual way (right click, screen res, advanced, etc).
But in the NV control panel go to manage 3d settings and either in global settings tab, or on a per game profile basis if preferred, set "preferred refresh rate" to "highest available".

This should always then be 120hz on desktop, allowing true idle clocks, but run your games at 144hz (unless you choose not to in in-game settings, or manually press the turbo button on the monitor)

Thanks for the info guys.

Wow fantastic, shame I bought mine on the 17th, almost 2 weeks ago. Oh well £660 is good enough. Hope you're enjoying your monitor, loving mine with 2x 980 SC's.

I just asked for a credit note for the difference as I received mine at the end of last week. It appears the "special" prices need to be viewed with suspicion as the normal price is now a lot cheaper.

I appreciate items go down in cost but £30 cheaper than an item that was on offer within 7 days previously is a bit off.

 

[Ayahuasca]

I think it's because they've realised they can't shift the stock at that price at the same pace. Everyone who was willing to buy it for that has done, everyone else is waiting for it to come down.

Also cheaper g-sync offerings are coming in the next few weeks

£30 less, but the free game has gone

 

[Worthy]

Wouldn't worry about the price dropping. If you want the best tech from day one, then you have to pay a premium, it's the way the world works!

If you consider how long you'll have the monitor for, the difference works out to be peanuts.

 

[pgi947]

I paid £717 Inc Sat delivery, I'd pay that again in a heartbeat, worth every penny.

 

[Manook]

Wasnt expecting it but OCUK just refunded me the difference. Excellent service as always.

 

[andybird123]

if it had dropped £100 I might be a bit miffed, but £30 is the same as next day delivery from some places, and free game, so...

Agreed. I generally always buy very early but know that I am paying a premium. That's the way of it with all tech.
